Profile: Dr. Philip Nino Tan-Gatue of Acupuncturist Manila

Dr. Philip Nino Tan-Gatue of Acupuncturist Manila

21 July 2014, Nomama Artisanal Ramen, Capitol Commons, Pasig City. Over dinner of Artisanal Ramen, we had an opportunity to meet this awesome guy, a Family Physician with intense training in mainland China on Chinese Acupuncture, a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Dr. Philip Nino Tan-Gatue, a Clinical Assistant Professor at UP-PGH College of Medicine and the Director of Acupuncture Services at Medical City.

Ms. Kathy Kenny introduced us to him to know more about what acupuncture is, since most of her bloggers/media friends are not totally aware of this modality. Acupuncture is very popular in media, we have seen it on the news and movies but probably we want to know more and would like to explore this kind of modality. Since I am very familiar, had tried  and actually endorsing it to my readers, I want to know more about his works and feature him here in my site. 

I am an ally and friend to all doctors out there opening their minds with other healing modalities other than their background and training in western medicine. According to Dr. Tan-Gatue, he uses it as a complementary treatment combining eastern and western, traditional and conventional approach in his treatment protocol. 

I asked him what brought him in the field of acupuncture or motivate him to pursue further studies on this modality, He said it was very special to him because he is looking at that time for a cure in his pain and also for his father with neurological condition. He started with his family, then friends until he gets a lot of referrals, that led him to pursue further trainings abroad.

According to him his specialty is more on the meridian acupuncture and pain management, though he described all types of acupuncturist, different types of needles used, limitations, age limits etc. He patiently answered all the questions thrown at him, explaining every details. I cant wait to try out this Doctor soon in his clinic and blog about my experience ( I will keep you posted). 

Needle sizes and length may vary depending on the meridian points 

During dinner Ms. Kathy Kenny of LifeisKulayful.com dared everyone to try and see who's afraid of the needles. To prepare everyone, Dr. Tan-Gatue did a demonstration unto himself, showing different needle directions and depths, moving and twisting the needles, looks scary at first but it wasn't painful at all, only a tingling and radiating sensation.

Lifestyle Blogger Rodel Floredeliz, tried out acupuncture for his shoulder pain, at first he seems afraid of the needle and can't help overreacting during the procedure, then he realized it wasn't painful.

Juice Therapy: The Healing Juices

I attended a workshop on Juice Therapy by Rman Lorenzo at the Sugarleaf Organic Market and Cafe. Rman is well versed when it comes to juicing, he is the juice man! He mentioned about Gerson Therapy, Ayurveda and Macrobiotic, Cohen, Blood type diet which I am also familiar with since I've studied them, so I can relate. 

Juice therapy is becoming a trend and I just hope it's not just a fad. We are living in a toxic world, regular cleansing, detox and nourishing should be a part of our lifestyle, and juice therapy will be our friend in this century.

Rman points out that we can make juice therapy and vegan choices without compromising the taste, so far all the juices ( a mixture of vegetables and fruits) I have tasted during the event was really good. We sampled the Vegan Choco drink, a mixture made of cashew milk (made by blending soaked cashew nuts), organic cocoa and coconut sugar . I learned that cashew can be made also into delicious vegan cheese (blend with olive oil, pepper and some herbs). We learned so many tips, recipe on juicing. 

This Maison Jar is beautifully made into
stylish juice bottles that can be carried out in the gym or yoga class

A sample of a recipe

A sample of our meal that day: Camote and potato
with rice balls (mixture of red,brown, sticky and black rice)

THE BODY RESET EVOLUTION PROGRAM

Cleans, Detoxify, Slim, Rejuvenate, Energize with Juice Therapy programs, read more:  Body evolution reset programs.

Juice Therapy juices are blended daily and they ensure that the food they serve will fit your lifestyle. Make them your partner inn achieving your health goals and happy you. 

How to extract the juice without leaving the nutrients behind? Use Breville juice extractors. 

The fast juicer is use for fruits, succulents and other vegetables,
 the blender is to puree nuts such as almonds and cashew nuts 

The Matstone Low Speed Multi-purpose Juicer  is a good health investment for juicing your fresh herbs, vegetables and some fruits like berries.

Slow Juicer  is use for leaves and stems such as wheatgrass and maluggay 

Why Juice Therapy?

Rman recommendes to set a goal, a reason and motivation to really appreciate the Juice Therapy. In his case, he is doing it for longevity and good health, to spend more time to his family. Some may be for weight-loss or beauty reasons, but whatever it is, he suggests to have a reason and motivation to keep it sustained.

Autism: Is there a Hope and Solution?

I have so many friends with children with the so-called Autism, ADHD or mental retardation, or as they want to label it "special children". I don't really like labels to children for a child is a child, let kids be kids. Rising Autism in my country is very alarming that do not exists before, the culprit? Vaccines, a preservatives in vaccines that can liquefy your brain and neurological cells.

I am settled with the fact that Vaccines is the most common cause of Autism and some neurological damage to children and adults, click the link to read my article on:  Autism , Cancers and Vaccines . Some of my friends agree and they take a vow not to have their children and grand children to have vaccinations, they choose a Pediatrician who will respect their decisions not having their children vaccinated and they are at peace with their decisions.

Hearing stories with friends and mothers having an autistic or ADHD child makes me wonder what really is the cause and how it could be stopped. I pity those really adorable kids with the so-called autism and my heart goes out to them so it lead me to do an intense research,  advocacy and educational campaign on autism crossing the line of what my doctors and psychiatrists friends believed in. As I have seen and heard horrible stories of adults experiences with drug medications during their childhood.  As always my motto is you can't argue with the results and it would be a lesser evil having no vaccination at all.

Is ADHD a mental disorder or evolution?
Father of ADHD Admitted it was a Fictitious Disease before his Death.

OK damage has been done, is  there hope or  a solution? In some books I read, I would like to share some excerpt on how they manage the ADHD and Autism, using home remedies and simple and yet safe methods and not to rely on heavy and toxic medications that some say It can be an embalmer of neurotransmitters.

What to avoid:

Overload of toxins and environmental chemicals, children acting out because they simply need more attention from their parents (put down your cell phone and engage with your children) and especially their diet, specially SUGAR!!! (It's a drug!!)

The link said that 10% of those diagnosed (9.4 million), 940,000 kids actually have an abnormal dopamine metabolism. So there should be behavorial treatment to accompany the drug part. Which they rarely do.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)  being rich in potassium can help autistic and mentally retarded children and adults suffer from Potassium deficiency:

From the book of Paul C. Bragg, a health crusader and book author of Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar System:

"I have closely studied the relationship between mentally retarded children and adults and potassium deficiency.

Several years ago, I brought 3 mentally retarded children inm my home for study and observation. Each morning I gave the children a glass of water with two teaspoonful of cider vibnegar and a heaped teaspoon of honey. (Honey is a rich source of Potassium) I worked out a crefully planned scientific diet that gave the children large amounts of Potassium. In three weeks, these children became alert mentally, and after keeping them in my homeone year they they were able to join school again with children of their own age.

At another time I bought 4 mentally retarded adults in my home and by giving them the cider vinegar routine was able in less than one year make them self supporting people. They are now attending high school and are rapidly building a high IQ."

To know more about the hundreds of uses of ACV, grab his book.

Importance of Iodine and Its role in ADHD

From the book (FOLK MEDICINE, A Vermont's Doctor's Guide to Good Health) of   D.C. Jarvis M.D., an ENT from Vermont, applied many principles of Vermont's Folk Medicine to his practice and found amazing results. One is the important role of elemental Iodine in thyroid function and the second function of iodine to calm the body and relieve nervous tension. 

"When nervous tension runs high there is irritability and difficulty in sleeping well at night, and the body is continually on a combat basis, organized fro fight and flight . All these points stress a body need for iodine to lessen nervous tension, relax the body and enable it to organize for peace and quiet, by the building and storing of body reserves against time of need. I have learned through Vermont Folk Medicine that it is possible to repeatedly change an irritable, impatient, and restless child under ten years of age into a calm, patient individual within two hours time by giving one drop of Lugol's solution of Iodine by mouth in a vegetable juice or fruit juice or in a glass of water made acid in reaction by adding a teaspoonful of Apple Cider Vinegar. I have repeatedly prescribed this in order to make it possible for mother of a racehorse-type little boy or girl to be able to live comfortably with the child. I have never seen it fail to calm down a nervous child."

Trichuris suis ova (TSO) for Autism:

Dr. Ardel Binoya, Fellow, Family Medicine, Integrative and Complementary Medicine

Dr. Ardel Binoya of Integrated Laser and Complementary Medicine Clinic,  in one of my interviews to him on Autism said, It can be arrested or tamed. He has a son diagnosed with autism and he also believed that it was because of the early vaccinations, with his own studies and research he was able to find a solution to cure his son of autism using a parasite called  Trichuris suis ova (TSO)  it is a non-pathogenic parasite that helps in making gut healthy, which is very important in managing autism. The treatment should be under strict medical supervision. To know more about TSO: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01040221.

Healing Stories, Glimmer of Hope With Laser Therapy

By: Ronnie Bernardo, RMT

(Wellness Advocate and Blogger)

Note: Some pictures could be disturbing, my apologies but it was a real pictures to show some clinical cases and personal encounter with patients. 

A before and after laser treatment done by Russian Laser Therapist to a Filipino diabetic parient, suffereing from a diabetic foot due for amputation. The picture was shared by ILCM Clinic, a true to life healing triumph, I don't personally witnessed and see the patient, so I am doing my own documentation.

I love success stories about healing specially if it's something to do with natural cures or by holistic intervention, when Mr. Rommel Santos, Nurse Gloria Flores and Dr. Ardel Binoya told me about one of their patient's almost successful intervention with laser in Cebu. I was moved and asked if I could interview and personally witness their story and meet the family, who are a believer of this kind of healing modality. Healing really comes from within, the body can health itself given the right approach and intervention.

I met the family of one of the patient of Integrated Laser and Complimentary Medicine (ILCP) Clinic, and even visited her at Cebu Doctors Medical Center,  a very close and loving family, I was moved and touched by witnessing the TLC (tender loving care) and unconditional love  they are giving to their mother ( the patient), truly the Filipinos are passionate with healing and we do it with love, when someone in the family is sick the family heals as well, that makes us really different from Western Medicine that deals only the physical and not the emotional well-being of patients. Imagine seeing members of the family as a team preparing homeopathic remedies, dressing wounds with herbal preparations and their burning desire to seek an alternative medical intervention is amazing. The patient I prefer to call "Nanay" (Mother) has no bedsore at all  and you can't find this care anywhere else in the world but only in the Philippines and in Cebu, Cebuanos are such special and loving in nature.

Moving on, I asked if I could take pictures and ask some questions regarding her conditions, medical diagnosis and management like her blood sugar results, CBC and other tests being done, what Dr. Binoya's approach and the patient's conventional doctors approach.  It was so nice of the family to share the information that will surely inspire others as well, seeing this kind of wonderful team/family and their compassionate love for their mother want me to storm the gates of heaven and ask for complete and total healing, just being carried away :-). I will withheld their names to protect their privacy and since their Diabetologist and other doctors are not aware that they are also seeking some complementary form of treatments.

I reviewed laboratory tests results, blood sugar and white blood cells (indicator of infection) dropped low, with medications but the patient relatives told me before the patient was unresponsive to medications until she was underwent a laser therapy and even showed me the "before" photos of nanay (mother) foot gangrenous up to the knee high due for amputation but they refuse since if could be too much for her age and condition. Nanay was co-manged by Dr Binoya using Holistic and Traditional  Medicine intervention, a much conservative approach rather than the aggressive approach.

The gangrenous foot that looks clean and dry, with no tissue juices and no foul odor. WBC count from 36 to 20; FBS < 200 .

Herbal preparation is also used in dressing up the wound such as this "Panyawan"

Too nosy to check what Dr. Binoya's homeopathic remedies given to the patients, then I was surprised, he had those things that are hard to find that I know like the DMSO, from there I know "He's the man." 

Another patient from Carcar, Cebu having an undiagnosed tumors and lesions in the chest believed to be caused by TB, the patient had no money to do all the diagnostic tests required and necessary, so she was treated by Dr. Binoya anyway and she was responsive to the treatment and laser, according to the patient, it was big and scary before as compared now.  

Another patient, a young gentleman diagnosed with kidney failure and due for dialysis because his Serum Creatinine level is so high (more than a thousand ), was spared from Dialysis after 10 sessions of laser treatments and management by Dr. Binoya. He also showed me his laboratory work up before and after, and a marked decreased in Creatinine level at 800 and urinary protein from +3 to +2, a great improvement.

Many more success stories I encountered whenever I am chatting with the patients, there are cases of saved from  bypass operations, stroke patient at a young age that improved with Laser Acupuncture. Some they have it for preventive measures and aesthetic value (rejuvenation/ anti-aging) or for some personal reasons. I am truly grateful to them that they willingly share their stories, testimony and documentations with me, even if I appear asking too much from them, they are a "patient patients" to me. I was so engaged with the patients and their stories, and I do hope to cover more and that they may all get back to normal health and have a total cure and to continually embrace a new lifestyle towards wellness. Truly health is wealth, prevention is still the best cure, but good thing our Medicine of today is evolving and I believed Laser Therapy is one of the Medicine of the Future. This is the so-called "ROAD LESS TRAVELED" in the area of medicine, but Doctors taking this path as I have seen them are more satisfied and fulfilled in their practice. This is really my advocacy that these kind of Natural Medicine flourish and widely recognized again.

Healing With Low Level Laser Therapy in Cebu

I had a chance of visiting Cebu and to check on this clinic in Mango Square Mall in Maxillon Avenue. The Integrated Laser and Complementary Medicine Clinic with a tagline, " preventative healthcare for a healthier you", being an aficionado and an advocate of different healing modalities, I checked on the clinic, interviewed doctors, staffs, patients/clients and discovered so many wonderful things, some of these chronicles will be written on a separate feature articles, like the very touching stories of healing, for now I want to tell my personal experience with this facility.

I was welcomed by Nurse Gloria Flores, who manages the clinic, a very fine lady with bubbly personality and very carinosa (sweet, always smiling), she made me and I guess, all the patients very much at home in the clinic. There, I also met Dr. Ardel Binoya, Dr. Ned Nepange and Mr. JR who is very much competent and knowledgeable about different healing modalities, I am impressed with their credentials and they are very passionate and intense about their practices, more on them on separate articles.

Their Corporate Philosophy 

The Clinic offers :

Photodynamic therapy (PDT)

Blood Irradiation using Intravenous (I.V.) and Non I.V. Laser Therapy

Low Intensity Laser Therapy of Darious Diseases

Some of the modalities also being offered in combined with Lasers are:

Homeopathy- Homotoxicology

Gemmo Therapy

Helixor Therapy for Cancers

Biochemical Cell Salt Therapy

Ayurvedic Medicine (No synthetic Drugs)

Sanum Theraphy

Polysan Therapy

Dr. Ardel V. Binoya with electrodermatron screening

Dr. Ardel Binoya said he combined all the modalities available and in some cases, a certain modalities could be very specific to some patients, it was a case to case basis, that is why it is called Integrative Medicine and not Alternative Medicine, it was an addition to the patient's present management, since according to him in severe cases conventional medicines can not be totally taken away but to be weaned out or tapered. He combined both his expertise in Internal Medicine and Complementary Medicine, this way all health issues are addressed. I tried Electrodermatron screening balancer for pre-screening that measure the energy levels of different organs, it was an amazing invention from Germany by VOLLS Electro -accupuncture. His findings: Low lymphatic functions and very low on my colon functions, he gave me some advice and recommendations such as Laser Therapy.

Healing with Low Level Laser Therapy

Laser Accupuncture

At this time when you mention laser, the first thing that comes into the mind is the laser that can cut through the body and be able to dissolved any lumps or tumors in the body parts. These are the hot lasers that are being commonly used in medicine to cure diseases such as cancer and definitely, along with these comes the higher prioces associated with procedures that involves  laser.

Though these are the common lasers that are known to most people, there is also one useful kind of laser that is now being used. Did you ever heard of low level laser therapy, soft laser, cold laser, low power laser therapy, laser accupuncture, therapeutic laser or the biostimulation laser? All of these terms use the same principles. Right now this kind of laser is gaining popularity in the market.

What is Low Level laser Therapy (LLLT)?

Though there are a lot of terms that are being used, low level laser therapy is the most common term. Right now, this kind of laser therapy is being widely used in the whole world to cure a number of conditions. It is defined as the non-invasive cure using photons. These photons come from the visible and infrared spectrum. These are important for healing the body tissues as well as reducing or easing pain. Usually, low level laser therapy operates using 600 to 1000 nanometers wavelength. 

Here are the characteristic of the compressed light that is being used for low level laser therapy: 

• It is very much different with the natural light. It is the compressed light that comes from the cold, red part of the spectrum of radiation. It is just one color, the color of red. 

• Its light travels in a straight coherent line. 

• It is monochromatic. This means that it is a single wavelength. 

• It is polarized. The light focus its beam in a certain spot or area. 

With these characteristics, the light that is being used for low level laser therapy will be able to penetrate the skin without any heating effect. This will not also damage the skin and also will not cause any side effects. 

Low level laser therapy is now being used to treat different conditions such as pain, skin conditions and other chemical substance addictions. This therapy aims to biostimulate. The laser will be the one who will promote healing in a wound or injury. This will be beneficial in repairing damage cells. In this manner, the therapy also speed up while enhancing the body’s immune system as well as aids in easing pain. 

Usually, the effect of this therapy is photochemical. This is somehow comparable with the photosynthesis, which is known with plants. The laser that is being used in low level laser therapy promotes the production of ATP or adenosine triphosphate. Also, it helps in increasing the protein synthesis within the cells. This adenosine triphosphate then will give more energy to the cells. And it is by energizing these cells that the body cells will be able to optimize their function in playing an important role in the healing process of the body. 

However, for the therapy to become successful and be able to reach the best possible result, these things should be considered: 

1. Choosing the appropriate and best wavelength. 

2. You should also use the right power levels when using low level laser therapy. 

3. You should also check for the amount of energy that would be used. You should also consider the pulsing frequency. 

Here are the advantages of low level laser therapy. 

1. This therapy is guaranteed to be non-invasive. And there are few or most often none side effects. It will not leave the patient feeling pain or any discomfort. 

2. It is said that it is an effective cure for most of sports related injuries or occupational injuries such as back pain, arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. 

3. It can give best result for healing of wounds especially for diabetics. 

4. It is very effective option when other treatment solutions have failed to cure the ailment. 

With the development in today’s world, developments in technology have increased the usage of low level therapy. Even acupuncture now use soft laser for those who are afraid of needles. 

Intravenous Laser Therapy / Endolaser Therapy

Intravenous laser therapy (laser blood irradiation) is a new type of intravascular blood treatment showing provable diverse positive effects on the metabolism and the immune system. Longtime research of Russian scientists formed the basis of this procedure which was then developed further and optimized in Germany.

Intravenous laser therapy is based on the biologic healing action of soft lasers that stimulates the immune system, improves the blood circulation, shows anti-inflammatory effects and activates both the cell metabolism and the production of new cells. Laserneedle acupuncture also makes use of these effects.

The procedure is like transfusion of light

In contrast to laser needle acupuncture, the therapy method of intravenous laser therapy treats the body's vascular system and not the body from the outside. Blood could indeed also be indirectly radiated through a laser fiber that is placed onto the skin above a vessel. Due to scattering and diffraction processes, the laser beam significantly loses energy before it can take effect on the blood cells inside the vessel. Therefore, both procedures are independent therapy methods that do not compete with each other, but which usefully complement one another.

How it works?

Flowing blood cells are directly radiated with laser light of different wavelengths (red, green, blue) via a sterile single-use laser fiber that is inserted into the arm vein with a cannula.

Light quanta are absorbed by blood cells; this process sets off the described positive bio-stimulatory reactions and also activates the antioxidant enzyme system.

The released light power is extremely low (1-3mW) and is only a fraction of the energy that is used on the skin during laser needle acupuncture. Many experiments from the field of biologic laser research substantiate that these low doses only show bio-stimulatory effects and are completely harmless.

Patients are treated while lying down or sitting in recumbent or sitting position. The procedure takes between 30 and 50 minutes. The wearing of anti-laser goggles is not required.

The Author having his Blood Laser Irradiation

Indications

Intravenous laser therapy can be perfectly used to treat chronic diseases that are connected with a weakness of the immune system, of different organ systems or of the metabolism.

Here are some examples:

- Inflammations of all kind

- Immunological weak conditions

- Chronic diseases of the liver

- Disorders of the lipid metabolism

- Diabetes

- Autoimmune diseases

- Diseases of the nervous system

- Cardiac and renal diseases

- Chronically inflammatory intestinal diseases

- Macular Degeneration

- Circulatory disturbances

- Skin diseases

- Disturbances of the hormonal system

- Arthroses

- Pains of all kind

- Fibromyalgia
- Cancer Management

Furthermore, intravenous laser therapy can perfectly be used in preventive treatment to stay physically fit and for anti-aging purposes.

According to the latest statement of the National Anti-Doping Agency ( NADA), this method is not considered a doping method and may be used to increase the fitness of the athletes.

My Personal Thoughts and Experience:

After the needle was inserted into my veins, Nurse Gloria connected the cannula with the laser machine and wait till the treatment finish, during the procedure I experience a deep relaxation and can't help but fall asleep because I felt a lightness in my body, a feeling that my circulation improved but anyway the real effect usually manifest in weeks and series of treatments, but the following morning I felt my skin complexion glows, the tired skin of my face somewhat more relaxed and energy level improved, I don't know but I just felt something is different but better, too bad I never had a series of treatment but I will be hoping that they set-up a clinic in Metro Manila as they planned, hope it will be the soonest possible time, since I am a believer of this technology and breakthrough. Cebu City is very fortunate to have them around and at a very low cost compared to Metro Manila rates using the original technology from Russia, many Friends would definitely love this.

Laser Blood Irradiation : Chelation Therapy And Its Evolution in the Philippines

My  first encounter with laser chelation therapy

Introducing a new and improved laser therapy. I have tried this Laser Blood Irradiation Therapy many times, known in other clinics as Laser Biochelation Therapy, Laser Chelation Therapy, Chelation Therapy etc. But it was actually an intravenous introduction of diode laser to our bloodstream, cleansing, purifying and improving our blood circulation pathway by "chelating" toxins such as toxic metals, carcinogens, microbes (germs) in our system and eliminates it through our elimination channels such as kidneys. My first chelation therapy encounter was from  Dr. Paul Lynn of San Francisco Preventive Medicine based in San Francisco California, USA. He discovered the many uses of  EDTA Chelation in the prevention and treatment of cardio-vascular diseases, the rejuvenating and anti-aging effect brought about by the treatment. My previous medical laboratory facility (Analyseurs Diagnostic Lab Co.) that I co-owned had partnered with them way back to provide medical laboratory services for their Philippine clients, when they set up a Manila office The San Francisco Preventive Medical Group based in Makati, Metro manila Philippines. I encountered High profile figures in the society as their clientele most of them are clients from the Philippines who went to San Francisco California clinic for the treatment, one of the reason they set up a clinic in the Philippines is because they have many clients from the Philippines so they decided to put a branch here.

Fast forward, I learned that there are also limitations for the EDTA chelation if you have a kidney issues, EDTA is not really advisable if you have kidney problems that could further aggravates the situation. Then the Russian group came and introduce the new technology the laser blood irradiation machine, they usually came here to treat a selected number of clients mostly high profile personality who believes in the treatment. After that Taiwan adopted and manufactured their own version of Helium-Neon laser blood irradiation which are the ones in most Philippine Clinics today. In Taiwan it is a clinically and scientifically approved procedure commonly used in their hospitals and clinics and the Philippines is also adapting  the new medical breakthrough. This is how Laser Chelation evolved in our country and I think one of the direction our medical community is going to, there may be some issues but to me, you can't argue with the results and at the end of the day it is always the patients' satisfaction and alleviation that matters and all important.

I am glad that there is Mr. Rommel Santos whom I've met recently with the Russian group and brought the much improved technology once more for our people to avail and made the services at a much reasonable and affordable prices. I will be visiting their clinic in Cebu, Philippines to check and know more of the original technology since all of the laser machine available in most clinics here as of this time is mostly from Taiwan.  I am excited to try the original and improved version, which I will be writing about in a separate blog.

Laser Irradiation helps me a lot in my episode and battle with hypertension (we have a very strong family history of stroke) and I really felt better after the treatment, my blood pressure went back to normal and I believed that my skin and complexion improved too because of the treatment, though it is not totally cheap but worth investing your money for good health. I have done personal research, studies and investigation on this machine and the more I researched, the more I saw the beauty of this machine/technology, I saw a lot of clinical trials, studies and benefits, as I observed this also to some friends and other patients  who tried the therapy, it really helps them a lot in in cases of kidney failure, cancers, diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases, (some for bypass operation) and other degenerative diseases.

Just to give you a short introduction on what a Laser Blood Irradiation can do and how:

Helium-Neon Laser Chelation/Blood Irradiation Machine

This machine is very popular and in fact developed from Russia, It was being use also by some hospitals in China and Taiwan. In the Philippines it was already being use during the 70's and 80's but to a more selected clients because at that time it is not a quite popular treatment, now more and more clinics and physician are using this technology.

Laser Blood Irradiation is a Russian technology which uses Helium Neon Laser to:

1. cleanse or to disintegrate the plaques attached to the walls of the circulatory system within the heart and the peripheral arterial system and soften the blood vessels as it eliminates the heavy metal deposits within the walls of the arterial system.

2. it stimulates the production of new generation of young blood cells

3. has anti inflammatory and analgesic effect

To know more about Laser Blood Irradiation and scientific facts, you may send e-mail letter of interest to me and will be happy to assist you further.

Asthma is a form of allergy, it can be internal (bronchial) or external (skin) , localized or systemic (urticaria), the problem is that  attacks could be fatal and may  cause death specially if lungs are affected, it can constrict  the airways and cause shortness of breath (bronchial asthma). 

After College graduation while waiting for my board exam to be released, I did training at Makati Medical Center as Pulmonary or Respiratory Therapist although I am a Medical Technologist. I worked with Pulmonologists,  ABG (arterial blood gas) machine, ventilators, respirators and do pulmonary function studies. I had seen many patients how they suffered,  I learned that Bronchial asthma is untreatable case (patients come and go) but can only be remedied, and management is not really a cure but temporary relief and to avoid further complications such as infection and mucus formations that can clogged and aggravates the airways. Most of our patients during that time are  asthmatic, our job is to administer treatment prescribe by doctors (Pulmonologists) such as bronchodilators (Berodual or Ventolin) through an air compressors or aerosols and worse, if the attack is too much to handle patients are given steroids, but prolong used of steroids cause many problems in the long run such Diabetes (according to many Internist), early formation of Cataracts ( According an Ophthalmologists) to name a few. Poorly managed asthma can also cause COPD ( Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) in the long run which is an irreversible damage to the bronchioles (airways).

Since I wrote this to share my observations during my "Pulmonary" days and to hopefully help friends who suffer from chronic asthmatic attack and how to take care of these problems naturally as possible. I am not asthmatic but I used to work with this people and learned so much about this condition, how they feel and how hard to have this kind of condition.

In my own observation and understanding of asthma we are dealing with allergies and inflammation and can be manage by natural methods only if we try to address those issues, by cleansing, detoxifying and nourishing and balancing energy through exercises.

Some remedies that could help:

One -half teaspoon each of baking soda and sea salt mixed into a glass of purified water, why baking soda? I guess it is to alkalize the blood which developed respiratory and metabolic acidosis during attacks.

Steam inhalation using boiled eucalyptus leaves (dried or fresh), I used this whenever I have cough or sinus problems and it relaxes and soothe my lungs and breathing. you may also use eucalyptus oil if fresh leaves are not available. Steam inhalation dilates and moisturize the airways making breathing easier.

If no eucalyptus available and in extreme situation , Steam inhalation using distilled water and sea salt.

Supplements for Asthma:

1. Omega 3 fatty acids or Fish Oil: It is a natural  anti-inflammatory  supplements

2. Turmeric capsules: Natural Anti-inflammatory supplements

3. Vitamin C and E

7. Yamoa is the ground bark of a rare gum tree and has been used effectively in the villages of Africa for centuries.Scientists have independently studied Yamoa and published papers about the unique properties of Yamoa in journals such as the International Immunopharmacology and The Journal of Immunology.
Two to three months of Yamoa is often all you will need for long term lasting results, with some people only requiring one months' supply or less for really positive results. Yamoa is Powerfully Good!
Yamoa contains a variety of compounds, which are well recognised as having positive, health-giving properties. Yamoa has important antioxidant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibiotic properties because it contains anthocyanins, flavonoids, tannins, natural anti-fungals and unique polysaccharides which stimulate the immune system and has even shown potential in the lab to fight infectious disease.
Yamoa has been traditionally used in its native environment, tropical Africa, to treat asthma, allergies and other respiratory conditions as well as malaria. It was introduced to the UK and the rest of the world by Jerry Yamoa nearly two decades ago since which time it has transformed the lives of thousands of people. It is non-toxic, free from heavy metals, Salmonella, E.coli, coliforms and streptococci. It is safely used for respiratory allergies including hay fever, asthma and COPD in humans and cats. This product is not available int he Philippines but I think we can get this online or health food stores.

Since Asthma boils down to weak immune system and toxemia, herbs which strengthens immune system could be use also to help boost immune system, herbs like Neem, Taheebo and Narra bark is a good boosters of the immune system. To know more about this herbs I wrote separate articles on them that you might want to read as well:

3. Qi-gong

4. Accupuncture, Reflexology, Therapeutic massage, Lymphatic drainage, Ventosa and Moxibustion also helps

5. Steam Bath or Suob, using herbs for steaming such as eucalyptus, mango leaves, Suha (Pomelo) leaves and some other aromatic leaves.

Foods to avoid:

Common sense dictates that hyper allergenic foods such as dairy products (eggs, chickens, cheese and milk products etc.), refined sugars.

In the Philippines, they called this "malansa" or fishy foods not necessarily fish products, like watermelons, pineapples, etc.

Some seafood like crabs, shrimps, shrimp paste (bagoong) and shellfish

Any food or medications with history of allergy

Cleansing regimen for Asthmatics:

Asthma can be due to many pollution, toxemia in the system, detoxifying regularly help manage  the condition, one detox regimen that is being teach is the use of one drop castor oil in the water to drink, it can flush away allergens,

Colon cleansing using Calcium Bentonite Clay to get rid of allergens  in the gastro-intestinal system , also activated charcoal can be use  to detoxify toxins in the digestive system. Please read my separate  article on the two items mentioned :

Affirmation:

"Peace! be still and know that I am God!"  This mantra can be use to calm the air elements in the body.

In general asthmatics should learn how to manage stress, do physical activities, breath fresh air, go for a nature walk or beach walk, lots of sunshine,  these places has very rich in negative ions, that is good source of oxygen, prana (life force/energy), good for  lung care in general. I have known of many individuals and children who manage their asthma so well by just spending time with nature and sea breeze.
